Description
Enter, the bracers: an organization established to serve as police and intermediaries alike, holding above all else the peace and safety of the lands under their jurisdiction. Whenever a citizen is in need of assistance, he or she may place a request at the local Bracer Guild -- and be it monster extermination, crime prevention or even peace talks among warring nations, the bracers will do whatever they can to resolve the matter cleanly and efficiently.
Some matters require a gentler touch than others, however. When an orbalship transporting a legendary "S-rank" bracer named Cassius Bright suddenly goes missing, said bracer's daughter, Estelle, and adoptive son, Joshua, must join forces in search of him across the entire Kingdom of Liberl.
And what they find along the way could change both of their lives forever...
Hailed as one of the largest, longest and most meticulously detailed turn-based JRPG series of all time, this first chapter in the ongoing Trails saga sets the stage for what's quickly become Ys developer Nihon Falcom's most popular and best-selling franchise in their entire 30+ year history. Introducing people, places, ideas, events and lore that rival in complexity those of even the most highly-regarded fantasy epics in literature, the care and attention given to each and every NPC, location and historical in-game event is what sets The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky apart from its contemporaries.
Come join Estelle, Joshua, Scherazard, Olivier and the rest of the cast as they uncover the secret underbelly of Liberl in their first 50+ hour masterpiece, and see what Japanese gamers have been raving about for over ten years.

About The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is a turn-based RPG developed by Nihon Falcom and published in the West by XSEED Games. Originally released in Japan for Windows in 2004, the game was later ported to the PlayStation Portable in 2006. XSEED acquired the Western rights and released the PC version on Steam on July 29, 2014, after a localization effort spanning years due to the size of the script, which contains approximately 1.5 million Japanese characters.
The game is the first entry in the Trails series, itself part of the broader Legend of Heroes franchise. It is set in the Liberl Kingdom on the continent of Zemuria and follows Estelle Bright, a spirited young woman, and her adopted brother Joshua as they begin their training as junior Bracers, a peacekeeping guild dedicated to helping ordinary citizens. What begins as a series of routine missions to prove their worth gradually unravels into a conspiracy that threatens the stability of the entire kingdom.
Trails in the Sky is built on exceptional attention to world-building detail. Every NPC in every town has their own name, history, and relationships with other characters, and their dialogue updates throughout the game to reflect events that have occurred. The same level of care extends to the world's history, political structure, and lore, which are built out through item descriptions, books found in the world, and incidental conversations rather than exposition dumps.
Combat is turn-based, using a time-based action bar that determines turn order based on character speed and the actions taken. Characters equip Orbments, slotted devices powered by elemental Quartz that determine which Arts, the game's magic system, a character can cast. Crafts are character-specific abilities tied to each fighter's unique skills and personality. The system allows for substantial customization of how each character develops over the course of the game.
The full playthrough spans over 50 hours for the main story alone. The game ends on a cliffhanger that sets up its direct sequel, Trails in the Sky SC. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky holds a Metacritic score of 85 and a Very Positive rating on Steam.

No. Trails in the Sky is the starting point of the Trails series and requires no prior knowledge of any other game in the broader Legend of Heroes franchise. It is the recommended entry point for new players and is fully self-contained in its setup and characters, though the story continues directly into Trails in the Sky SC.
A single playthrough of the main story takes over 50 hours. Players who engage with every NPC conversation, side quest, and optional content can expect playtimes well beyond that, as NPC dialogue updates throughout the game in response to story events.
Yes. Trails in the Sky is the first arc of the Trails series, which spans multiple game arcs all set on the same continent of Zemuria with a continuous and interconnected lore. The game sets up its direct sequel, Trails in the Sky SC, and events from this arc are referenced throughout the rest of the series. Playing the games in release order is recommended for the full experience.
This is the original 2014 PC port of the 2004 game, featuring the classic isometric 2D presentation and the XSEED localization. The 2025 remake, titled Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, is a separate release developed by Nihon Falcom with a full 3D visual overhaul, new English voice acting, and refined gameplay. Both are available separately on Steam.
